On Dark Calvary Stands A Cruel Tree,
Where Christ The Savior Died;
And The Love Thus Shown Doth For Sin Atone
Jesus The Crucified.
O Precious Cross Of Calvary,
Where Christ The Savior Died,
Pouring Forth His Blood, A Redeeming Flood
Jesus, The Crucified.
All My Sins I Bring To The Cross And Cling
Where Christ The Savior Died;
And He Speaks Release, Gives My Soul Sweet Peace
Jesus, The Crucified.
On This Sacred Hill Precious Memories Thrill,
Where Christ The Savior Died;
And I Count But Loss All Beside The Cross
Jesus The Crucified.
Come Unto The Lord, Hear His Pardoning Word,
Where Christ The Savior Died;
All Your Burdens Lay At His Feet Today
Jesus, The Crucified.
